Mr. Tate was member of the Legisla-
ture. He favored the resolution and worked
for it, but knew OF no improper means used
to influence members. It had been charged
that there was trading of votes on different
bills. 1t was charged that ne had traded
his vote to the Railroad Commission bill
and school of technology bill to get votes for
this resolution. Mr.. Tate said these charges
were untrue and unfounded.
Gen. Phillips, who referred to certain pa
pers in his testimony yesterday, was recalled.
OF these one was. contract made in Boston

It's Investigation.
MILLEDGEvILLE, Sept. 16.-The joint
committee of both houses of the Legislature
that was expected to return on Monday last
to complete their investigation of the
asylum, which they did not finish in their
first session, about fortnight ago, arrived
at Milledgeville Wednesday evening, and
Thursday morning went out to the asylum
to finish their work. Hon. NJ. Pringle, for
some cause, did not come, but Col. Livings-
ton has taken his place on the committee
They examined several of the trustees and
the gardener this morning on the charge of
excessive amounts paid to certain employees,
and discrepancies between expenses of diff
ferent years, all of which was explained
satisfactorily to the committee
Yesterday being the day for the opening
by the Steward of bids for the quarters sup
plies for the asylum, the committee ad-
journed at II o'clock noon to witness the
opening of the bids. So much has been said
by enemies of the institution, and so many
insinuations made THAT this committee is
determined to leave no stone unturned, and
go into the most minute matters in their in
vestigaton, so that the people of Georgia
may know the facts as they really exist. So
far it appears that instead of any blame the
officers will receive from this committee the
most hattering approval and commenda-
ton for their able management of the grave
responsibility imposed upon them.

DRESBACHS DEAL.
His Creditors Well Secured by Wheat
as Collateral.


SAN Francisco, Sept. 1G-William
Dresbach, one of the chief manipulators Of
the recently collapsed wheat deal, has filed
with the County Recorder full statement
ment of his liabilities and assets.
Among the creditors who loaned
Dresbach are the following, who are
well secured by wheat, which if sold
at present prices would cover the claims:
C. H. Kaufman 100000, Searles & Stone
1856 600, Staub & Cooper $4,000 Charles
f. Reed s650, 900, Abby NJ. Parrott 100000,
Starr IL Co. So, 900. London, Paris and
American Bank Sl40,000, Blum, Baldwin &
Girvin 1881 900.
Following this statement is given a list
of wheat contracts whereby Dresbach
agreed to receive 10000 tons
at prices ranging from 81 roper Genital to 50
per Genital, the current price now being
81 %. The amounts due on these contracts
is in dispute.
A STARTLING EXHIBIT.
The most startling exhibit made in the
IS the amount of money owing to the Nevada
Bank on promissory notes. The statement
shows that Dresbach owes the bank directly
S55O,0O0. He also obtained from
the bank $6,000,000 on a guaranty given
by Charles F. Reed, SO that he received
O00. Feed, who appears as guarantee for
this enormous loan, is farmer of Yolo
county, i'll this State, and owns large tracts
of land there. How he satisfied the Nevada
bank is not stated Mrs. Paran Stevens, of
New York, is his sister, and he has
other wealthy relatives. In the list of assets
there is given a statement of fifty-seven
vessels bound for Liverpool, carrying $685.
900 quarters of wheat DreSbach drew upon
the ~ in In
more than the present value of the cargoes,
and the assets, therefore, are of no value.
NOT MUCH READY CASH.
Among the other assets are $27S 46 of
money on hand. There is also a book ac
count of S1,795, 900, owing to Dresbach by
Johnston, Bosch 81 Co., OF England but this
amount will not be more than sufficient to
cover the losses sustained by this firm on the
advances made TO cover losses on wheat
in Europe on account of Dresbach. Henry
Cobrough, of London. is also mentioned as
owing S7l7 900, but this is an estimated
value of the account, for the same reason
as stated in the case of Johnston, Basch g.
Co. There are various other London ac-
counts of less magnitude, but deemed
valueleSs. John Rosenfeld is also quoted as
owing $107 900, He was partner with
Dresbach, and this represents his share of
the loss on the joint account.
The summary shows as follows:
Money borrowed on wheat and secured. 81 $50, 600
Owing to the Nevada Bank ........... $3.50, 900
Losses on contracts ...... ............. 300 600
Losses on cargoeS en- route ...., 535 900
This makes total indebtedness of more
than S9,0J0,0OJ, which is practically unse-
cured, and which is supposed to approx
mately represent the loss in the great deal.
Taken as a whole, the exhibit is regarded as
the most remarkable in the history of spec
ulation in this country, and is accepted as a
confession of the necessity of the changes
which occurred three days ago in the direc-
tory of the Nevada bank
